The Bike Path from Levanto to Bonassola

This beautiful cycle path has not always been here. In the past the railway was passing through here and where the path is located today, there used to be the train tracks. In fact, Levanto train station, used to be where the big parking space in front of the sea is located now. Then the railway was moved to the innermost part of Levanto, which is its current position now. In the place of the old railway line we find a wonderful route that alternates tunnels and open part of the road with amazing sea views. There are also small hidden beaches (there is also one where dogs are allowed in summertime) and many benches along the way where you can stop and enjoy the beautiful sight.

Only a few tunnels separate Levanto from Bonassola and in about 15-20 minutes you’ll have reached Bonassola. Take your time to explore this small village and then proceed straight ahead towards the next stop: Framura.

Extra tip: reach the pink little church

Since you are in Bonassola i highly recommend you to park the bike for a while and take a short walk to a beautiful hidden place: the small church known as “Madonnina della Punta”. It is a tiny pink church located on the top of a cliff and it’s particularly charming ad dawn or with the sunset lights.
Reach the Ex Oratory of Saint Erasmo and take the stairs gong uphill. Once you’ve reached the street (via Roma), proceed on the left and go straight ahead until you reach the small church.
